All of Springtime

Springtime's gold of a youthful moon
covers me with languid reveries holding 
my gazes captive in woodland--

A portrait of birds, flora in endless variety
weaves  through marshy lanes,
and I am stilled by this beauty--
the soft rise of all that glimmers
in a rhythmic wave of spontaneity,

reminding this proud man 
the reverence within the wild of woods.2018
